I'm assuming that `xvncviewer <HOSTNAME>` does work?

Have you tried killing the additional exec command?  (I'm wondering if
xvncviewer might be behaving atypically.)

Where are your hostnames/ip addresses being written?  Are they
up-to-date? Are you sure that xvncviewer is reading them?

Does xvncviewer have a --verbose or --debug switch that you could use
to see what's going on?
